Political earthquake in the 7th district: SPÖ overtakes Greens in Vienna-Neubau

The 7th Viennese district, also known as a new building, took a surprising turn in the 2024 National Council election. In a result that the political landscape in the district has strongly shaken, the voters opted against the Greens and for the SPÖ, which was able to record a remarkable increase in growth. The SPÖ won impressive 11.57 percent compared to previous elections and reached a total of almost 31 percent of the vote.

Traditionally, new building was considered the stronghold of the Greens, but the voters seem to have favored a clear change. The party, which has been in charge for years, now has only one sprinkle in the district. This means a dramatic decline of 15.24 percent for the Greens, which have now fallen to 22.3 percent of the votes and have thus lost a significant part of their support.

causes and background of the election decision

Why did this sudden rethink with the voters occurred? Experts suspect that political and social economic developments in the region have played a central role. In particular, the needs and concerns of the younger electorate, which are often associated with the topics of mobility and sustainable development, could have had a decisive influence on this choice. The popular group seems to have shaped the popularity of cargo bikes and environmentally friendly lifestyles, which clearly decided on the SPÖ.

In addition, the increasing need for social justice and a stronger political representation of workers could have contributed to the election decision. As a result, the Birkenstock-Bobos, as they are colloquially mentioned, depart from the traditional green ideology and have chosen the SPÖ, which sends a clear message and occurs for social concerns.

The choice is not only statistical, but could also be crucial for future political strategies in the district. With this election result we see a clear trend that could shape the upcoming political agenda in Vienna-new.

The effects of choice could be far from being both for the parties and voters concerned. It remains to be seen how the Greens will react to this loss and whether they develop strategies to regain their lost basis and to re -claim their position in the district.
